The Rise Of Socially Responsible Investing: "In an age of increasingly lax oversight from the government, and at a time when national corporate interests are willing to cut corners to appease shareholders, there is a growing contingent of people who want to invest in affordable housing, in companies who don’t just run environmentally friendly ads but actually practice those principles, and who want to make sure that the management of companies reflects the diversity of the country."

Robert Castellani, a former United States Air Force Pararescueman, founded North American Rescue in 1996 with the vision to provide innovative medical and rescue solutions for the military, law enforcement, EMS, and other first responders. NAR’s mission is to reduce preventable deaths on the battle field. The company has continued to evolve its offerings to support the expanding need for immediate public access to medical supplies that can address major injuries—stopping traumatic bleeding and saving lives.

Over the past two decades, Castellani and NAR have donated to many veteran and crisis foundations. Pursuing this mission, Castellani and his family have contributed to foundations against sexual abuse, domestic violence, and programs associated with child sexual abuse, of which many of these efforts have focused on the Upstate. Castellani and North American Rescue plan to continue donating to these efforts.
